The Last Word with Matt Cooper
When the news broke of Princess Diana's sudden death in 1997 there was an incredible reaction in Ireland to the news. Flags flew at half mast, the Irish soccer team wore black armbands, and the Irish media had blanket coverage of the funeral and the lead up to it.

In recent times the Netflix hit series 'The Crown' has introduced the princess to youngers audiences and the upcoming movie 'Spencer' starring Kirsten Stewart will no doubt do the same.
